    Robustness of temperature sensors

    Needing to measure temperature, at the output of a compressor, I would like the best sensor choice (RTD or Thermocouples) considering that a compressor may be subjected to high vibration levels. Best, Mike

    Control Valve Actuator Selection

    Ilan, as far as I know, Vanessa valves are mainly used as zero leakage block valves. An anti-surge valve has to modulate the bypass flow. Besides, as a control valve it can be class VI, at most. Michael

    Control Valve Actuator Selection

    Ilan7, is it possible to have a stroke time less than 1 sec only using a piston actuator? A volume booster will not be necessary? I am considering a bypass valve for an anti-surge control system for a centrifugal compressor.

    Control Valve Actuator Selection

    What are the guidelines for selecting the type of actuator for a control valve. That is, how do I choose between diaphragm and piston? Mike
